I think the Wikipedia definition is broad enough to be consistent with modern marriages (what you call anti-marriage).

Which part is consistent with modern marriage, social union or legal contract between people?

I agree that there isn't much point arguing about semantics, but I personally don't like letting feminists define the meaning of the words I use.

On another topic, what do you think of Exodus 22:16-17:

16 "When a man seduces a virgin who was not promised in marriage, and he has sexual relations with her, he must certainly pay the bridal price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must pay an amount in silver equal to the bridal price for virgins.

And on a related topic, which women is it acceptable to seduce and which are off limits?
